Tabby cat sneaks into caravan to travel 128 miles

Feline finally found weeks after stowing away in a caravan
It pretty much goes without saying that we as caravanners like exploring places new, but we never knew cats held the same opinion until we heard about 18-year-old tabby cat, George, from Llanrwst in the Conwy Valley who managed to travel 128 miles away from home by stowing in none other than a caravan.
After five weeks of searching for their missing cat, owners Steven Davison, 71, and his wife Susan, 68, were growing weary that their cat was gone for good, so imagine their surprise when daughter Gemma Davison-Lemalle, 30, saw a picture of her childhood pet on a facebook page for lost and found cats.
The cat had last been seen running towards a caravan site near the home and, unsure of how he would have travelled so far, Steven and Susan can only assume that he hitched a ride in someone’s caravan. George’s ‘holiday’ seemed to take its toll on him though as his condition was not the greatest when he was finally reunited with his owners.
George is now resting up and receiving appropriate treatment for the cat flu that he acquired during his trip – perhaps due to too much raucous caravanning fun. Despite this, however, his family is overjoyed to have him back and safe at home. Gemma told the Daily Mail: “It’s absolutely bonkers to think he travelled so far. We won’t be letting him out of our sight ever again.”
Hopefully George the caravanning cat is doing well. And make sure to be on the lookout caravanners – you might just have an extra furry passenger on your next holiday.
